Drama Tuition Sutton Coldfield

As Spotlight is a stage school not just a dance school we also have weekly lessons in Drama for Sutton Coldfield students. These Drama classes cover various acting techniques including voice projection, physicalisation, characterisation, accents, emotion and improvisation. Drama is a very creative subject which teaches skills that can be transferred to many other areas, e.g.; giving speeches, speaking in front of classmates at school, debate teams, etc.

The high level of drama training at the school has seen numerous pupils experience great success in professional / paid TV, film and stage work.
